Request to Enable Access to Audio Features and Audio Analysis Endpoints for New Spotify App

[LatkoArtem]

Hello Spotify Support Team,

I’m developing a non-commercial educational project called MyMusicMind that analyzes user listening behavior and provides insights and recommendations. This project relies on the Spotify API for accessing detailed music data.

I registered my Spotify app in May 2025. I’m using the Client Credentials Flow with Spotipy, and although the credentials are correct, I receive a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the /v1/audio-features endpoint.

I understand that apps created after November 27, 2024 fall under updated access restrictions and do not have default access to the /v1/audio-features and /v1/audio-analysis endpoints. Since these endpoints are essential for my project’s functionality, I kindly request that access to them be enabled for my app.

Thank you very much for your assistance!

Best regards,
Latko Artem

My Question or Issue

[18326565628]

Hello, I am a student from a university and I am also planning to apply audio vocal feature data to my master's thesis. However, I found that this feature has been disabled. Have you been granted permission to request it by the authorities? If you reply, I would greatly appreciate it

Hello Spotify Developer Support,

I am developing a personal non-commercial music recommendation system as part of my educational project. This system aims to analyze audio features of tracks to provide better music suggestions based on detailed song attributes such as danceability, loudness, energy, and tempo.

I have registered my Spotify application recently and I am currently using the Client Credentials Flow with the Spotipy library. However, I am facing a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the /v1/audio-features endpoint.

I understand that apps created after November 27, 2024 require special access approval for these endpoints. Since the audio features endpoint is crucial for the core functionality of my recommendation system, I kindly request that access to the /v1/audio-features and /v1/audio-analysis endpoints be enabled for my app.

Thank you very much for considering my request. I assure you the data will be used responsibly for educational and personal purposes following Spotify’s terms of service.

Hello Spotify Developer Support,

I’m requesting access to the Audio Features and Audio Analysis endpoints for my registered application.
These endpoints are essential for my learning and testing activities while exploring the Spotify Web API in Postman and other development tools.

Here are my app details:

• App Name: [Spotify API Testing]

• Client ID: [fc7a360dc58f4fe393d878f9a11ebea6]

• Use Case: Educational and testing purposes – I’m currently learning API testing and automation with Spotify’s endpoints (using Postman).

I understand that since November 27, 2024, new apps require explicit approval to access these endpoints.
I would appreciate it if you could enable access for my application.

Thank you for your time and support!
Best regards

Hello Spotify Developer Support,

I am a student at Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE), currently developing a non-commercial educational project as part of my coursework.
The project called Vibescape is a Spotify-based playlist generator that creates personalized playlists based on musical attributes such as danceability, energy, tempo, and valence.

My application uses the Spotify Web API via the Spotipy library to authenticate users and generate playlists dynamically. However, I am unable to access the /v1/audio-features and /v1/audio-analysis endpoints, which appear to be restricted for apps created after November 27, 2024.
These endpoints are essential for analyzing songs and improving recommendation accuracy according to user-selected moods and energy levels.

I kindly request that access to these endpoints be temporarily enabled for my registered app so I can complete this academic project and evaluate Spotify’s data-driven recommendation capabilities in an educational setting.

App details:

• Client ID: 286dc2acab6f4561bd5bb9cb73bfb88e

• App Name: Vibescape

• Purpose: Educational / University project (non-commercial)

• Affiliation: Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE), Lisbon

• Data Usage: Strictly for research and educational purposes, following Spotify’s Developer Terms of Service.

Thank you very much for considering my request.
I appreciate your time and support for academic learning and innovation.

Kind regards

Max
